Thanks CR for another title, but I'm wondering why you guys are doing delayed simulcasts? Is there some reason for this? I don't think I've missed a posting to explain this.

As TheAncientOne already said in his reply, there may not be any delay in the simulcast. There have been simulcasts that have started a week late, but released the first two episodes without a delay.

As to why Dog Days is late, I would guess that doing a package deal which gave them streaming rights to both seasons with one contract would be more complex that a normal simulcast contract and thus it could have taken longer. I am very happy that Crunchyroll has said that it will stream both seasons. Crunchyroll is really showing that they're the best legal streaming site for anime.

Crunchyroll............YOU ARE FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!! I thought the adding of summer shows were over, but you just surprised me!..
Always add more shows! It's make me and I'm sure everyone else happy!
Crunchyroll #1 source for awesome anime!

I could have sworn you guys already mentioned Dog Days Season 2 already.
But I think that was more of a "A new season will be coming out" and people complaining about how bad anime gets a second season and good anime don't.
Anyway, I like Dog Days, so I will be watching this.
(Just not on Crunchyroll. Sorry, it's a subtitle/translation preference. I just prefer "Shinku" over "Cinque", and other minor little details/differences.)

But whats a season 2 without a season 1, so we're going to throw that one in the mix as well!!

Well done! Now I too can and will join in.

It's been disappointing when I've had to pass on a show because of it being a followup to a preceding season I haven't seen. I'm lucky that Fate/Zero didn't need such.

I'm sure that by now, Crunchyroll has some pretty solid statistics to show publishers about correlation between season-completion and viewership. I thank all parties involved for kindly bringing us more than the current season.
